The Align socket inserts arranged in the recesses with the cover plate or slightly over the Cover plate out and are against external forces not protected.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gehäuse für eine Mehrfachsteckdose zu schaffen, welches bei einer außerordentlich kostenünstigen Herstellung und Montage besonders robust ausgebildet ist, einen größtmöglichen Schutz des versenkt angeordneten Steckdosen einsätze, Schaltungen und Sicherungen und dergleichen gewährleistet und außerdem einen außerordentlich guten optisch ästhetischen Gesamteindruck vermittelt.The invention has for its object to provide a housing for a multiple socket, which is particularly robust in an extremely inexpensive manufacture and assembly, ensures the greatest possible protection of the recessed sockets inserts, circuits and fuses and the like, and also an extraordinarily good aesthetic Overall impression conveyed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen sind Inhalt der Unteransprüche und der Figurenbeschreibung.According to the invention, the object is achieved by Features of claim 1 solved. Advantageous and functional Refinements are the content of the subclaims and the figure description.

Erfindungsgemäß weist ein Gehäuse für Mehrfachsteckdosen mit einem Boden, Seitenwänden und einer Deckplatte mit Ausnehmungen für Steckdoseneinsätze, Schaltungen und Sicherungen, welches aus einem Zuschnitt eines Bleches durch Umformen und Verbinden der Längskanten des Bleches gebildet ist, Seitenwände mit oberen Längskanten auf. Die oberen Längskanten stehen nach oben über, und die in das Gehäuse integrierte Deckplatte ist, bezogen auf die oberen Längskanten, vertieft angeordnet und bietet dadurch den darin aufgenommenen Steckdoseneinsätzen einen guten Schutz.According to the invention, a housing for multiple sockets with a bottom, side walls and a cover plate with Recesses for socket inserts, circuits and fuses, which is cut from a sheet Forming and connecting the longitudinal edges of the sheet formed is, side walls with upper longitudinal edges. The top Long edges protrude upwards and into the housing integrated cover plate is, based on the upper longitudinal edges, deeply arranged and thus offers the inside socket inserts provide good protection.

Nach des Erfindung wird ein metallenes Gehäuse geschaffen und dafür ein einstückiges Flachmaterial, beispielsweise ein elektrolytisch verzinktes Stahlblech, eingesetzt. Das Stahlblech wird entsprechenden Umformprozessen unterzogen, vorteilhafter Weise nachdem bereits Ausnehmungen für Steckdoseneinsätze, welche im fertigen Gehäuse im Bereich einer integrierten Deckplatte angeordnet sind, vorgefertigt wurden.According to the invention is a metal Created housing and therefore a one-piece flat material, for example an electrolytically galvanized steel sheet, used. The steel sheet becomes corresponding forming processes subjected, advantageously after already recesses for Socket inserts, which in the finished housing in the area an integrated cover plate are arranged, prefabricated were.

Diese Ausnehmungen, welche z.B. für Schuko-Steckdosen kreisrund ausgebildet sind, können vorteilhaft durch einen Stanzvorgang eingebracht werden. Danach werden durch geeignete Umformprozesse, beispielsweise durch Rollieren oder Rollen und Biegen, parallele Seitenwände abgebogen und nach einer 90° -Abwinklung eine Bodenplatte gebildet.These recesses, which e.g. for Schuko sockets are circular, can advantageously by a Punching process. After that, by appropriate Forming processes, for example by rolling or Rolling and bending, parallel side walls bent and after a 90 ° bend, a base plate is formed.

Es ist zweckmäßig, im Bereich der Bodenplatte die aneinandergrenzenden und sich überlappenden Längskantenbereiche des Flachbleches dicht zu verbinden.It is expedient in the area of the base plate to adjoin one another and overlapping longitudinal edge areas to connect the flat sheet tightly.

Zur Verbindung der Längskanten eignet sich insbesondere das Falzen. Die Längskanten werden folglich zunächst umgebogen und dann ineinander geschoben oder verhakt. Abschließend wird die so gebildete Falznaht zusammengedrückt oder festgeklopft, um eine besonders hohe Stabilität und Dichtigkeit zu erreichen. This is particularly suitable for connecting the longitudinal edges Fold. The longitudinal edges are therefore first bent over and then pushed or hooked into each other. Finally the seam formed in this way is pressed together or tapped, for particularly high stability and tightness to reach.

Grundsätzlich können auch die allgemein üblichen Verbindungsverfahren für Metallteile eingesetzt werden. Außerdem besteht ohne weiteres die Möglichkeit die Verbindungsnaht bzw. Falznaht auch im Bereich der Seitenflächen oder im Bereich einer Längskante anzuordnen.In principle, the common connection methods can also be used can be used for metal parts. Furthermore there is the possibility of the connection seam without further notice or fold seam also in the area of the side surfaces or to be arranged in the area of a longitudinal edge.

Wenn eine Falznaht im Bereich der Längsachse des Bodenbereichs bzw. der Bodenplatte ausgebildet wird, empfiehlt es sich, Standbereiche an der Bodenplatte vorzusehen und die Bodenplatte erhöht auszubilden. Wenn die Standbereiche wenigstens die gleiche Höhe aufweisen, wie die überstehende Falznut, ist die Bodenauflage der Mehrfachsteckdose nicht beeinträchtigt.If a fold seam in the area of the longitudinal axis of the bottom area or the base plate is formed, it is recommended to provide stand areas on the base plate and the Train floor plate increased. If the stand areas at least have the same height as the one above Groove groove, the base of the multiple socket is not impaired.

Fertigungstechnisch besonders zweckmäßig ist eine überstehende und abgerundete Ausbildung der Randbereiche des Bodens. Die bogenförmigen oder halbkreisförmigen Randbereiche können für eine besonders ansprechende Gesamtwirkung des Gehäuses weitgehend mit Profilierungen in den Seitenwänden des Gehäuses übereinstimmen. So können Nuten, Rillen und Ausnehmungen bzw. Ausformungen als Profilierungen wenigstens in den Seitenwänden, insbesondere während des Umformprozesses, ausgebildet sein und gegebenenfalls mit besonderen Gestaltungen und/oder farbliche Kennzeichnungen, beispielsweise in den Firmenfarben, versehen sein.A protruding one is particularly expedient in terms of production technology and rounded formation of the edge areas of the floor. The arcuate or semicircular edge areas can for a particularly appealing overall effect of the Housing largely with profiles in the side walls of the housing match. So grooves, grooves and At least recesses or formations as profiles in the side walls, especially during the forming process, be trained and if necessary with special Designs and / or color coding, for example in the company colors.

Besonders vorteilhaft sind Profilierungen der Seitenwände in Längsrichtung, welche im Innenraum der Mehrfachsteckdose Längsstege bilden, welche insbesondere horizontal verlaufen und zur Führung und Halterung der stirnseitig einschiebbaren Kontaktanordnungen dienen können. Derartige Vorsprünge oder Nasen an den Innenseiten der Seitenwände sollten sinnvollerweise in einer symmetrischen Anordnung ausgebildet sein. Profiles of the side walls are particularly advantageous in the longitudinal direction, which is in the interior of the multiple socket Form longitudinal webs, which in particular run horizontally and for guiding and holding the insertable on the front Contact arrangements can serve. Such Projections or tabs on the inside of the side walls should reasonably be in a symmetrical arrangement be trained.

In die kostengünstige Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses aus einem Zuschnitt eines Flachmaterials und durch Biegevorgänge bzw. Rollierprozesse integriert sind die vertikalen und sich nach oben erstrekkenden Längskanten der Seitenwände im Bereich des Übergangs von der Deckplatte zu den Seitenwänden. Durch die überstehenden Längskanten platte vertieft angeordnet und die Doseneinsätze, welche in die vorgefertigten Ausnehmungen der Deckplatte eingesetzt werden, erfahren durch die Überstände einen vorteilhaften Schutz.In the cost-effective manufacture of the housing according to the invention from a blank of a flat material and through Bending processes or rolling processes are integrated vertical and upward Longitudinal edges of the side walls in the area of the transition from the cover plate to the Sidewalls. Through the protruding longitudinal edges plate recessed and the can inserts, which in the prefabricated recesses of the cover plate are used will experience an advantageous through the supernatants Protection.

Um eine feste und unverdrehbare Anordnung der Steckdoseneinsätze in den Ausnehmungen zu gewährleisten, ist vorgesehen, die Ausnehmungen mit radial vorstehenden Vorsprüngen, Kanten oder Spitzen zu versehen. Beim Einsetzen der Steckdosen werden sich diese Vorsprünge in das Material der Steckdoseneinsätze einritzen oder einschneiden und verhindern auf diese Weise wirkungsvoll ein Lösen oder Lockern der Einsätze.For a fixed and non-rotatable arrangement of the socket inserts to ensure in the recesses is provided the recesses with radially projecting projections, Edges or tips. When inserting the These sockets will protrude into the material of the sockets Carve or cut and prevent socket inserts effectively loosening or loosening of the stakes.
